Samuel – 19352

Sam

7 Plus, 8 Plus & 11 Plus

Sam has been tutoring our daughter for the last 6 months, helping us navigate the North London 7+ prep and process. He really is fantastic, he’s built an excellent rapport with our daughter, working to understand where she needs more assistance but also her strengths/ what she finds fun and incorporating that into the lessons to continue to build her confidence. We’ve had other tutors who have a more ‘old school’ approach and our daughter used to not look forward to a very methodical, text book session. Sam reads our daughter’s mood well and manages to get the most out of her in a fun way, even when working through test papers. We highly recommend Sam.
